This year, the North American regional rounds of the ELSA Moot Court Competition on WTO Lawwill be organized by and held right here at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law.
This internationally renown competition consists of a simulated hearing in the World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement system. Competitor teams represent both the Complainant and Respondent parties to the case, presenting oral submissions in front of a panel consisting of WTO law experts.
To help make this event a success, we need volunteers! We have a variety of jobs, including moot timing and chaperoning judges, professors and competitors around the Fauteux grounds. This is a great opportunity to see how the theory of international trade law is put into practice in real life scenarios, and to interact with some of the key professors and practitioners in the field. It's also a great opportunity to witness high quality mooting on international trade and WTO topics, particularly if you are interested in participating in this or other moots in the future.
Volunteers are needed for Friday, March 19, and Saturday, March 20, 2010. Times are still provisional, but please email us your interest and availability and we will get back to you with the details.
Thanks, and hope to see you there.
